This is the coldest weather we nave had since '56, after the big snow of that winter. That was the winter that rye was in such great demand, and everybody was hauling it to Pittsburgh in sleds. One teamster for John Berg took in a load of 150 bushels. —Our grocerymen have lately been missing sacks of flour, hams and other articles, left outside after dark. One grocervman who re ceived a dozen cans of maple syrap the other day, had eight of them stolen from his store door that evening.

An act was also passed and ap proved making it a misdemeanor punishable by fine not exceeding S2OO, and imprisonment not exceeding three months, to use or sell by false beams, scales, weights or measures. —Advices from Mobile says the late cold snap caused immense damage to that section. The loss to orauge groves is estimated at nearly a million dollars, and the yalue of vegetables killed in Mobile county alone will reach the same sum. Oreat damage was also done to the orange groves of Florida, but mauy orange growers, profitting by the Signal Servioe warn ing. built fires in their groves and thus saved their trees. —Some of our youth who have exhausted all the ordinaly pleasures should establish a whizzer in the ice before it is gone. A whit zer is made by planting an upright pole through a hole in the ice, and attaching two hoizontal bars to the pole. The bars are about fitteen feet long and on opposite sides of the pivot pole. The operation of the contriv ance is capstan-wise, and when a dozen young sters get hold of the bars and skate around somebody gets hurt. When a boy losses his grip he whizzes, and the fun of the game con sists in watching those who have the bad judgment to let go. A down-east whizzer, the other day skiuned one boy's face hy hurling him about fifty feet along the ice, sprained one wrist, broke a knee-pan and split one head. The machine was then stopped for the after noon. By all means get a whizzer. The Wilcox A White Organ la strictly first-class, Call to see M. T. J. EOCiiOLL at Lowcy iiwiou —An exchange rushes wildly into a finan cial problem thus: Buy a hen for twenty-five cents and in a dozen days, if she is a good "layer," you will have got your money back and five cents besides; that is if she lays eggs. ; She mar lay round, like some men that we know and never lay anything to her credit. The way to get your money out of a lazv hen is to wring her neck for market. The way to get your money out of a lazy man—well, we give it up. You can't get blood out of a turnip and a lazy man's blood never turns up to any account. —The schools of Guernsey county, Ohio, have been closed on account of a peculiar and very fatal disease that has appeared among the children, said to have been brought from the West. The disease makes its appearance very suddenly and the symptoms are from the first very alarming. The victim's throat begins swelling and fills up with mucus, and the face assumes a dark purplish hue. A high fever at once results, and the eyes of the victim coutract as terrible vomiting spells set in. The vomit ive continues, giving the Kttle sufferer great distress, and kills it inside of two days unless it can be checked. M. T. J. Rocholl will gladly interview all who wish to buy Pianos and Organs. —Several coal mines in the Mahoning Valley have been engaged for some time in issuiug script to their miners which was exchanged at certain stores for goods and other commodities, which the holder of it desired. The fact was reported to Washington, D. C., and a special agent of the Treasury Department has been through the Mahouing Valley investigating the cases reported to him. It is claimed by the Treasury Department that the issuiug of the scrip for the purpose of a circulat.ug medium is in violation of the Federal Statutes. \V hat step* will be taken by the government in the matter is not known. —There are already 496,201 persons who are drawiug pensions for injuries received in the late war. Many of these have been fraudulent ly obtained. There are bills pending in Cougress that would add over 1,800,000 persons to the number of pensioners, and m;ike d charge ou the Treasury estimated at $1,295,725,000 a sum that would nearly double the nat.onal debt. Of course there is no danger that all these bills will be passed, but there will be a desperate efiort made by the pension lobby to push some of them through. The handsome surplus in the Treasury is a constant tempta tion to harpies of tbi* kind, who look on it as their legitimate prey. —While Perry Wally, son of Thos. Wally, who lives near Queenstowu, Armstrong county, was examining a cheap revolver last I riday morning, it was accideutly discharged and the bullet struck his little six-vear-old sister in head above the right ear and passing through the brain lodged in the skull back ot the left ear. Dr. Wallace, of East Brady, located the ball, but did not think it safe to attempt re moving it until the child recovered from her shock. Up to Sunday noon she was yet living. The lamily, at the time of the accident were sitting around the tire, and the little girl is the only girl of a family of seven children. There is always much discussion over the question as to whether the wind has any effect upon the mercury. To settle the matter, careful experiments were made last month at the U. S. Signal Service Station at Cleveland. One thermometer was placed on the north side of the station, completely exposed t« the wind, while another WHS equally exposed to the cold but was shielded from the wind. Dur ing the month of December, observations were taken several times daily, and the final sum ming up shows that the exposed thermometer yaried but two-tenths of a degree from the sheltered one. The instruments used were those furnished by the Government, and are the most perfect made. —A special term of the court has been called in Forest county to try a great ejectment case aud decide the ownership of a valuable tract of oil territory in Howe township, containing 600 acres. There are on the property at least ten first-class producing oil wells, and the oil al ready produced in the hands of a receiver is estimated at 200,000 barrels. The preseut liti gation dates back to 1837, when the property was of little value and sold to pay the taxes. The claimants are O. E. Clark and Leroy Judd of Leadville, Col., and the defendant in the ejectment proceeding is the Balltown Oil Company. The value of the property in dis pute is a half million. Since the above was put in type the case has beeu settled, and by the terms of settlement the defendant company re tains possession of the 200,000 barrels of oil produced and the plaintiffs enter upon posses sion of the property. It may be a little early in the season for a first class fish story, but this will do for a star ter: A fish dealer down in Salineville, 0., says that be received a box of frozen fish from Cleve land during the recent blizzard. They were so hard and brittle that they had to be handled with care to keep them from breaking in pieces He sold one to an old lady, who took it home and put it in a bucket of cold water to let it thaw put gradually. During the night she heare something splashiug and flopping around in the kitchen. Supposing it was the cat trying to get the fish, she jumped out of bed, seized the broom and broke for the scene. There was no cat visible, but the fish was makiug the water fly in all directions. As near as could be learned, these fisb had lain out in the cold two nights before being packed in boxes, and had been out of the water more than two weeks. —Mr. McGinley, who lives on Pearl street, this town, and who is 85 years of age, says that the deepest SHOW of which he has any recollec tion was that of 1832, when snow fell on the level to a depth of four feet, and drifted so bad'.y as to make the roads impassible, and in some cases made it difficult for farmers to get out of their houses and procure fire-wood and water. He, at that time, lived in Donegal township, and the body of a neighbor who died that winter, had to be kept in the house several days before it was possible for his friend* and neigbors to bury him. They final fastened two long poles to a horse's back, pin ned them together and placing the coffin on this dragged it to the Sugar Grove cemetery. It tot k tneip the best part of a day to travel eight miles, and the "poor man" was dumped off into every drift they came to. —Between the noif« they are making in France and the noise to be made here over the American hog in his commercial and sanitary aspects there is no reason to apprehend that that interesting animal will not receive all the attention he deserves. He is a great animal, equal alone to the labor of payiug two or three national debts, and a glance at the financial side of his history is fitted to inspire respect for bim even on the part of those cold hearted creatures who could never sympathize with the man who burned d w his house to have roast P'g. Congress has him on its mind to an enor mously great extent in the form of tons of doc uments, and Germany and France are wrest ling with the problems of his destiny—espe cially at this particular moment France, in whicb country he has been surveyed through the scientific spectacles of Mr. Paul Bert, which are very much like the spectacles that Mr. Jules Verne puts on when he is about to write a romance remotely involving some scien tific theory. —Census reports show that |over 50,000 per sons in this country are sightless. Out of every thousand of our population may be counted one whose eyeballs are curtained by eternal night. These unfortunates we have with us always, a perpetual appeal to the tears of sympathy and the strong and hearty hand of beneficence. The blind need condol ence and pity less, however, than they require those resources and employments and distrac tions that diversify life and make it a joyous and beautiful thing. Among these must be reckoned conspicuously the access to and use of good literature such as eve"-" schoolboy or learned pundit with eyes to see may easily en joy. Zealous efforts have long been made to supply this need of *he blind, among them none more earnest thau the work carried on by Mr. N. B. Kneass, Jr., at No. 1126 Market street, Philadelphia. Mr. Kneass, himself sightless, publishes a monthly magazine in raised letters for the blind, which it is a pleas ure to commend as containing much (food read ing and useful information.— Philadelphia Re cord M.

Rocholl has had 20 years' experience as Teacher and Dealer in Pianos and Organs. —The report that Kennedy Marshall, Esq., Court Auditor, sent on the Auditor General yesterday, contained the following facts: In the Prothonotary's office 700 judgments, 1 ami- action, 2 eertioraries, 119 original writs and live mechanics' liens were entered, 27 tran scripts made and 50 appeals taken, the State taxes on which less Prothonotary's commission of 3 per cent, amounted to $419.77.

DEAR SIR:— I wish to make known through your Journal, why it is that my wine cannot be had from the Druggists by the Pint or &c., drawn from tbe Cask. It is because there are so many unprincipled men in the business that I dare not trust my wines to be dealt out in that way and remain pure. Unless 1 have some security against its adulteration, too many men would make two bottles out of one by adulteration, as the wine is so rich that it will stand that, and even more, and yet sell for mv pure wine, and not be noticed by those who nave been using Cali fornia Port wine. The only security the pub lic have in getting my wine pure, is for me to bottle it and affix my signature over the cork of each bottle. The price at one dollar per bottle is no more than it would be in bulk, ex cept the cost of the bottling, cork aud label. I would be glad to sell it by the barrel, could 1 be sure of its being dealt out to con sumers in its pure state. I found years ago by experience that the only way the public could get m.C wine pure, was to seal every package, with my signature over the stopper. Not long ago a druggist in Trenton, N. J., was approached by a customer who wanted a bottle of Speer's Port Grape Wine for his sick wife, "I have it" said the druggist, who at once repaired to the cellar and shortly came up with a bottle part filled and corked and no label, and delivered it to the customer for Speer's Port Grape Wine. The customer took it home, it maee uis wife sick, he afterwards showed the wine to a physician who declared it was nothing like Speer's wine-t, but misera ble stuff palmed off instead. This shows the necessity of taking every precaution to insure a method by which con sumers may be sure when they get my wine. Yours Respectfully, ALFRED SPEER. THE NOVELTY IRON WORKS.

XKW HAVEN, Jan. 24.—The wife of Dr. Ernest L. R. Thompson, a well known physician, was found by a domestic lying dead in her bed this afternoon. In one hand she clutched a bottle which had contained chloroform, and the other pressed a handkerchief which had been saturated with the drug over her face. Mrs. Thompson was about 29 years of age, aud was born in Baltimore, where she is highly connected. She was remarkably beau tiful when Dr. Thompson raairied her some years ago, and was, moreover, intellectual and accomplished. Within a few years sh*» has become a slave to the habit of taking morphine, a post mortem examination showing that her lower limbs were covered with scars, resulting from frequent hypodermic injections. It is alleged that she would sell anything she could lay her hands on to procure money to purchase the drug. A few days ago she tried to in duce her husband's office boy to pawn her wedding ring, and only this morn ing while delirious she ran down stairs in her night dress, called in a rag ped dler who was passing, and offered him some wearing apparel in exchange for money. She was in agony all the time of late, and more than once talked of self-destruction. At L. Stein & Son's, Just received a large line of new Fall and Winter Skirts, in very handsome styles. —Go to J.

One of these provides that if a person buys a patented article in the open market from a regular dealer for his own use, it shall be sufficient de fense in any suit by the patentee to show that it was bought in good faith, and the patentee must look to the deal er for infringement. It ought to pass. —A bill has been introduced in the House at Washington making letter postage two cents an ounce, instead of half an ounce, as at present. There is no question but that the ounce is a much better standard for letter-weight than the half ouDce. A very large pro portion of letters vary so slightly from the half-ounce weight that a reasonable doubt usually exists whether a single or a double stamp is required. Letter scales are not a convenience which every person has at bis or her elbow, and to test tho matter at the postoffice involves considerable trouble. To adopt the ounce standard for single let ters will not impair the postal revenues greatly, while it will save people much bothar aod rexauoo. —One of the saddest of recent deaths waa that of Charles Pelmonico, of Xew York, who perished from hunger and exposure in the Orange Mountains of New Jersey, within two hours' ride of his famous establishment where scores of his servants even were sur rounded with the necessities and many of the luxuries of life.
